Chapter 182 Landing
"Actually... there is a way..."
His unexpected action naturally could not be hidden from the eyes of his teammates. His teammates, who had no intention of leaving, knew almost immediately that he had made a new discovery and came to help immediately.
Seeing that the USB drive was within reach, the sharks no longer insisted on letting them go first. After asking, they found a small metal cutter from their tools and began cutting at the weak spot of the filter.
Of course, because the "sizzling" sound of the cutting machine was quite loud, they were worried that the communication would disturb their teammates on the shore, so they turned off the microphone. In the noisy environment of metal cutting, they did not hear the other party's emergency call.
The edges of the filter were gradually worn away by the machine's blades, but the team members in the lab didn't dare relax. Just now, their teammates on shore had issued them an ultimatum, and now the octopus might be on its way back.
Although they knew that as long as they did not go ashore, their teammates on the shore would definitely do their best to restrain the octopus, everyone knew that with their limited means, they could not restrain the octopus for long.
At this moment, every minute and every second was a race against time. Perhaps if they were a minute late, they would all be buried in the octopus's belly. How could they relax?
Suddenly, two loud noises were heard outside, and then the lake water began to turbulent. The team member holding the cutting machine had nowhere to gain support and was immediately overturned by the turbulent lake water.
Although the other team members managed to stabilize themselves in time, they were inevitably affected by the turbulent lake water.
Shark knew that this was the final horn. The other team members who participated in the entire combat meeting last night naturally knew what this meant. They did not dare to delay and quickly picked up the machine to continue cutting.
As the sound of cutting metal continued, explosions were heard outside again. Water waves came over in waves with the explosions, and even those lying on the ground could not avoid being affected.
Team member Xiaowu's hands were shaking as he held the cutter, but he didn't dare let the blade leave the drain for even a moment. Through his transparent mask, sweat could be seen covering nearly his entire forehead.
Thinking that the robot dog's last shell was about to run out and that the octopus might be back soon, Shark looked at the other teammates and urged, "Everyone else go first. Xiaowu and I will stay behind."
The other teammates heard this and glanced at the filter that was about to be cut. They knew that staying here was useless and it would be better to go out and explore. If they could help distract the octopus at the last moment, it would be much better than having everyone stay here.
After thinking this through, they looked at each other and left the laboratory.
Just as they walked out of the laboratory, they heard two more explosions.
The people who left the laboratory quickly surfaced and looked out from the exit, just in time to see the octopus sinking and gnawing on its own remains.
Then, within a few minutes, they saw the octopus grow back its broken limbs and start swimming towards the research institute.
Knowing that their teammates on the shore had exhausted all their means, they couldn't help but feel anxious when they thought that Shark and the others were still in the laboratory.
"what to do?"
"I'll go lure the octopus away!"
One of the team members patted the plasma bag placed on his chest and said, "If I can't make it, you guys take over. The USB drive is right in front of us, we must get it this time."
The other team members thought of the plan they had discussed before, looked back, and nodded.
"I'm the oldest, I'll go first!"
The person who was speaking was about to swim forward when he suddenly felt a force coming from his feet...
…
The people on the shore watched the octopus getting closer and closer to the research institute under the harassment of the robot dog, but they were helpless.
Just now, they had thrown the chickens and ducks they had prepared into the lake, but perhaps because the water was too turbid, these bloody foods had lost their appeal to the octopus. It ignored these creatures that were still flapping their wings with signs of life, and rushed towards the research institute with a clear goal.
Thinking of the teammates who had not yet come ashore and could not be contacted, one of the team members' eyes turned red and he was ready to go into the water himself to attract the octopus's attention, but the technician stopped him.
He was on the shore, thinking about Captain Shark's instructions before he left, and his mouth moved, but as he watched the octopus getting closer and closer to the research institute, he couldn't make up his mind to say the planned order of "get in the car".
The communication in his ear had been interrupted for a long time. He didn't know what was going on with the captain, but he was still unwilling to make the worst plan.
Wait a little longer, just in case they have a chance to come back!
Wait a little longer...
And as he was praying like this, the lake water on the shore rippled slightly, and then a hand stretched out from the lake.
Then, many hands stretched out from under the lake surface covered by broken ice, and then, teammates who went into the water emerged from the water one by one.
Shark climbed onto the shore first and put the silver USB flash drive in a transparent bag into the hands of the technician who had been staring at them blankly, showing his first smile since this mission.
"I'm glad I did my job!"
The others were already surprised to see them come back, and they were even happier when they saw they got the USB flash drive.
However, the shark still remembered the dangerous escape with the octopus just now, and urged everyone to get in the car quickly.
As it turned out, his worries were not unfounded.
Just after he finished speaking, the surface of the lake suddenly shook violently, as if something was about to emerge from under the water.
At that moment, the others did not dare to stay on the shore any longer and hurried into the carriage.
After the last team member entered the carriage, the things under the surging water also floated to the surface.
It was the same giant octopus, but for some unknown reason it suddenly turned and rushed to the shore. Its waving giant tentacles slapped the car body. Although it didn't cause any damage, it did cause the stationary car to sway and almost topple over.
Shark didn't have time to think before he yelled "Drive!"
Jiang Qian, who had been on standby in the cab, had already sat in the driver's seat when they hurriedly got on the train. When she heard the order, she immediately closed the train door and pulled down the joystick for takeoff.
A huge thrust came from under the train, and the train rose slowly, its speed getting faster and faster. Just as it was about to leave the island, it suddenly shook, and then everyone felt a pulling force coming from below.
Through the window, everyone saw the source of the pulling force below: the octopus's tentacles were now wrapped around the car body, pulling it into the lake.
Jiang Qian pulled the upward joystick with all her strength, but she was unable to escape the huge pulling force from below.
Seeing this, Jiang Weimin, who was standing next to him, rushed over to help pull.
Then, during the "tug of war" between the train and the octopus, a cracking sound came from below, the train shook violently, and began to rise rapidly into the air.
When the train stopped steadily in the air, Shark also passed through the accommodation compartment and reached the outside of the cab.
Jiang Qian, who was always paying attention to the carriage, naturally noticed him and immediately opened the door to let him in.
On the large screen in the cockpit, the appearance of the octopus was shown as clearly as before, but this octopus was obviously more aggressive than before.
The lake water kept surging and rolling under the stirring of the octopus, and the water almost overflowed from the island.
The other team members who stayed in the dining car looked at the scene on the island and couldn't help but feel relieved.
"Luckily we got on the bus early!"
Although they still suffered some attacks from octopuses, fortunately the train was reliable enough to allow them to escape safely.
But even though they had escaped the octopus's attack range, the octopus continued to wave its tentacles in the air, as if it would not give up until it achieved its goal.
Even the broken tentacles could no longer attract its attention, and everyone watched as the octopus approached the outskirts of the island.
"What does it want to do?"
Following the octopus's movement trajectory, everyone saw the yacht docked at the dilapidated dock of the island not far from the octopus. Then, the team members turned their attention to Jin, Tony and others.
Jin, Tony and others watched their yacht become tattered under the attack of the octopus tentacles. Although they felt sorry for the scrapping of the yacht, they were also glad that they were not on the boat.
Therefore, facing the concerned gazes, Jin and his team reassured the team members, "Don't worry, there's no one left on the yacht, we only lost a boat."
This ship is not theirs, but belongs to a rescue organization, so Jin is very open-minded about it.
but……
The yacht was gone, so how would they leave? Perhaps they should take the train to Flower Country and stay there for a while?
Just as Jin and Tony were thinking about when to talk to the rescue team members, Shark and Jiang Qian, father and daughter, in the cab also noticed the octopus's movements.
The shark frowned tightly, feeling that this octopus was more difficult to deal with than all the mutant creatures they had seen before, even though this was an octopus with zombie-like characteristics.
Although it is not known whether this shark can infect other creatures like a zombie, if it is allowed to go into the sea like this, it will be a hidden danger to everyone in the future.
Therefore, even if they successfully escape, sharks do not intend to let go of such a dangerous species.
Some things should be done now and hidden dangers should not be left to future generations.
Shark wondered if they could deal with the octopus with their existing ammunition and firepower. If not, what kind of weapons would be needed to be temporarily dispatched from the domestic base.
But no matter how much ammunition they needed, given their current situation where they couldn't even get the train out, even if they had ammunition, they wouldn't be able to install a stable launch system. An intercontinental missile launched from within the country could reach this place, but even if they notified them now, by the time the country was ready, the octopus would be nowhere in the ocean.
Thinking of this, the shark couldn't help but make an irritable "tsk" sound and frowned.
This is really difficult! Do we have to contact the country to send fighter jets to deal with this octopus?
"Actually... there is a way..."
Shark was thinking this when he suddenly heard a voice in his ear. He lowered his head and saw Jiang Qian sitting in the driver's seat looking at him.
